Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car
interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.

Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose
fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning
or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and
heat stroke.

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and

San Juan and Vicinity-Northeast-Southeast-Eastern Interior-
North Central-Central Interior-Ponce and Vicinity-Northwest-
Western Interior-Mayaguez and Vicinity-Southwest-Culebra-Vieques-
The nearshore and off shore Atlantic and Caribbean Coastal Waters-
519 AM AST Sun Aug 31 2025

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of Puerto Rico.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

.Lightning...Isolated thunderstorms, particularly across
the interior and western sections of PR. Stay alert and be
prepared to take shelter if storms develop.

.Excessive Rainfall...Flooding in urban areas, roads, small
streams, and washes, particularly across the interior and western
sections of PR. There is a low chance of isolated flash floods.
Elsewhere, plan for water ponding on roads and in poorly drained
areas as rainfall activity could strong and very wide spread.

.Excessive Heat...This level of heat affects anyone without
effective cooling and/or adequate hydration, with those sensitive
to heat at the highest risk. Impacts likely in some health
systems, heat-sensitive industries and infrastructures. These
conditions are most likely across all low, urban and coastal areas
of Puerto Rico.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Heat threats will remain the primary concern through Monday while
the risk of flooding and lightning strikes will persist each day
(particularly during the afternoons). During the weekend we
expect the arrival of a tropical wave, which will increase the
potential for rainfall activity and instability across the islands.
Low marine and coastal risks are forecast through Thursday.


.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is encouraged. Please relay any information
about flooding, winds, waves, and rip currents to the National
Weather Service in San Juan.
